I understand your pain.

To The People Who Are Always Injured
Kaylee Adamek

Most people play sports throughout their childhood. Even if they didn't, they managed to hurt themselves in some way, shape, or form. As a child, and even now, I've always been so accident prone. I've tried everything to keep myself from getting hurt, but I've never been able to stay completely accident-free.

Every time I'm doing something, I almost ALWAYS get hurt in some way, shape, or form. I almost always seem to say "ouch" about everything, even if it doesn't hurt. I struggle to keep myself from getting hurt, but no matter how hard I try, I manage to hurt myself. I'm always in the barn so there's always some sort of way that I'm going to get hurt. I walk into walls, I walk into people, you name it. I walk into almost anything that is put in front of me.

I try to keep myself from getting hurt, and my friends do too. We try to keep chairs pushed in and keep the floors clean. The only problem is, no matter how hard we try, I ALWAYS END UP GETTING HURT IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. I know I'm not the only one out there in the world that has this problem. Some people get hurt because they're clumsy. Some people get hurt because, well, they aren't the smartest person in the world. Some people get hurt because of "bad luck." Some people, like me, just don't really pay attention to what the hell they're actually doing and where they're going. I'm usually too busy talking to someone, looking at my phone, zoning out, etc. and I usually almost collide with people, walls, poles, buildings, you name it. I don't think I could be any more prone to getting hurt.

As much as I get hurt, I've only ever broken one bone. It just so happens that it was a knuckle in my middle finger on my left hand. And before you ask, yes. It was involving a horse. I try my best to keep myself from getting hurt. I'm constantly cleaning things up or moving things to another place. I don't know how I always manage to injure myself. I promise that I really do try, but it just doesn't work out the way I want it to. My boyfriend doesn't have sympathy for me anymore when I get injured and honestly, I don't blame him. I get hurt way too often and my poor boyfriend has to deal with it all (but he's the best for putting up with me and all of my injuries!).

To those of you out there who always get hurt, join my party and wrap yourself up in bubble wrap. It's so much more fun and, believe me, so much safer. Let's all wrap ourselves in bubble wrap because why not! Stay safe, everyone!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
